COMPTIA SECURITY+ GUIDE TO NETWORK SECURITY FUNDAMENTALS

Its exactly what I needed for my class. I was using the online version of the book with highlighting, but it doesn't compare to an actual book that you can physically mark. In preparation to take the COMPTIA tests its worth the price with all the references, diaphragms, explanations, definitions at your finger tips to go back in and reference. If this it the field you are certain of, I recommended getting this text to keep on hand, highly informative.

The book's format is really cool; it combines information with examples and suggested projects, to really get a handle on the topic each chapter addresses. The writing is not your typical textbook-style droning on about whatever. It's upbeat and engaging punctuating its message with real world examples. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to study network security technology.

It's a CompTIA textbook and it reads like a textbook. There seems to be plenty of information. More than enough for the Security+ cert, I'd imagine. If only my instructor that had us purchase this for a college class actually used it as material or even a guide. Really, I just don't know what college is for anymore when everything is such a high percentage DIY endeavor anyway. Pro tip: skip taking any cert classes unless you're getting a real degree (A.S, B.S., etc). "Obtain the materials", read them, maybe take some practice quizes online, and then just take the proctored exams.

I am currently taking a college class that requires the use of this text book. I have got to say that this book is very insightful. I am not an IT Security Major but I am really enjoying the information in this book! The information is well structured and they provide many recent scenarios to help illustrate why securing data is important.

Excellent book from a person who is Sec + Certified. Unfortunately in the infosec the acronyms and terms and exploits keep growing. Excellent Book!
